Question
I'd like to install some presentation templates, but don't know where to put them...
Thanks a lot
Solution
Choose Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Paths and select the Templates line. There you can click "edit" and see the paths that it uses to search for templates.
OTHER TIPS
/usr/lib/openoffice/share/template/
That's on a Debian Lenny/testing. You can find them by typing
locate .ots
in a console (ots being the extension of OOo templates)
It is not recommended to place templates in /usr/lib/openoffice/... because the contents of that folder can be altered automatically through the process of Debian package management. For site-wide installation I created the folder "/usr/local/share/templates/ooo2/common", placed templates in there, then added the path to the set of paths mentioned above.
